Run away. With a Holley 750, 6 MPG would be pretty good. Wiring troubles are to be expected. As already said , if that was an example of the upkeep and workmanship..... Concern over MPG, implies daily driver. Get an econobox And, keep your Ranger for a toy, Yah a 34 yr old Ford living in a city built over a salt mine, Run Forrest, run.

The bold is what i have a problem with. econobox implies small car. i hate small cars. small cars can burn in hell. i didn't know 15 mpg was too much to ask for..for a daily driver ( for a bronco maybe..but not anything else..that's newer)

My worst Ranger gave me 16mpg, but I think my calculations were wrong... speedo was off with the bigger tires. "Econobox" doesn't have to mean small. My daughter has a V6 Tempo she gets 25+mpg and she isn't easy on it. My brother gets 25 with his '00 Taurus.

cars in general make me want to rage. same with minivans.

I can push 17 mpgs in town with my B2.. 4.0/a4ld/4.56s/33's (well, 285/75/16's)
to me, its worth it compared to driving a car all the time.

with the 4.56's and 33's and keeping the speed down and not flooring it start off at a red light, it does pretty good I suppose. I actually got 18.8 out of it driving it like a grandpa.. and have hit 20 mpgs with the cruise on 65 mph on the interstate.

well i'm prob just gonna DD the ranger once i get off my lazy ass and fix it ( hopefully after work tomorrow that'll happen) and my dad says he miiiight be able to get me into his gf's 02 f350...i've been driving it the past few days. i love lariat editions Definitely needs a leveling kit and some mud terrains though. already has warn hubs but the doors and bed are rusting out..who cares it's boss

i think i get like 16-17 with it when i don't drive like i normally do ( i hate my driving habits, why must i like driving fast)

yeah, I actually DD my gf's 04 f150 lariat a lot.. well, till next week when she moves back to college during the week, its only 30 miles away so she comes home for friday-sunday.
something that "new" and nice makes me want to update my DD a little.

yeah, i drive the f350 and when i get into my dads base model ram 2500 i sometimes feel disappointed. but the cummins has way more power..which is also why the rear tire is missing tread and why i'm not driving it at the moment.

if you could somehow fit a newer ( i think it's 2005+ f150) type interior into your b2 that would be the best of both worlds!

That Heritage edition always makes me say 05+ too. I know it started in 04, but sometimes my fingers forget.
